US drone attacks kill more people in Pakistan. How are these attacks justified? What gives the US military the authority to summarily kill people suspected of militant acts? What theory of justice allows innocent men, women and children to be murdered because they were in the vicinity of these suspected militants? How can any person, possessing a conscience, commit such an action?
Through different glasses, what would be the reaction in the United States if the Mexican Government authorized drone attacks in the US against suspected drug lords? What if a Mexican drone attack killed five suspected drug dealers and twenty other men, women and children in a Tucson neighborhood? What would the reaction of the US media and Government? Can you imagine the clamor for retaliation or war upon Mexico?
If such attacks continued would it lead to further support of Mexican actions or greater retaliation against Mexico?

Change will require the 2nd American Revolution.
